Processed electroencephalogram during combined extradural and general anaesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vasopressor agents are used to prevent intraoperative hypotension and ensure adequate perfusion. Vasopressors are usually administered as intermittent boluses or manually adjusted infusions, but this practice requires considerable time and attention. We have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controll...
